Finally got it figured out.

I took a 6 ft length of 6" flexible alum duct off the front of my stove (in finished basement) and vented it into the floor register near the living room/kit/din rm. I also installed a 10" (quiet) fan in the floor register at the end of the hall to pull down the cold air into the basement. I now have more heat up and less down resulting in significantly improved equalized temps.
I did leave 2 holes clear on the front of the stove to heat the basement.
It all (6' duct) looks like hell but it works great.

Here`s a pic of it , a bit distorted at that but viewable. It just might save me the cost of a new stove that vents straight up.

Sheesh, Your testing my memory Gio. After I looked at your album I realized who you were.

May not be the prettiest, but its functional.

Where did you find the 6" flex duct? Never seen it that big?

Home Depot . It was about $15 for a 6 ft length.
My install is a bit unusual since the chimney is in the middle of the house. (former wood stove)

Being a Master Chief, there's a pretty good chance you 'might have been drinking'.....

Navy tradition! I should add (ret) on that handle . I think the change happened when I got a new computer and couldn`t remember my forum ID and password.
